Peter, Bjorn and John – Summer Breeze

Leave a comment

MP3: Peter, Bjorn & John – “Summer Breeze” from Indie Rocks! A Benefit Album For Malaria No More, out November 17 on RED.

The PBJ cover is included on a benefit for an organization dedicated to wiping out malaria deaths in Africa. So hey, good cause. Other artists on the album include Great Lake Swimmers, The Walkmen, and um, Third Eye Blind… Full track listing after the jump…

The Glorious Noise interview with Peter Moren: The Last Tycoon

Peter Moren - The Last TycoonPeter Morén – The Last Tycoon (Quarterstick)

Let’s get this straight right off the bat – there’s no whistling.

As a matter of fact, there’s little of anything resembling Peter Bjorn & John‘s trademark sound in frontman Peter Morén‘s solo album The Last Tycoon. Except Peter’s voice.
